YDKF Episode 194: Crossroads Mall

As a kid, the period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas was spent making Christmas wish lists, and many of the entries on those lists came from window shopping at the mall. Tune in to hear about the birth of one of then largest malls in America, my memories of shopping there, and the event that marked the mall’s demise.

YDKF Episode 193: Puppets

After a stressful week of work and election headlines, I decided to pick a light topic. On this week’s episode, I’ll be discussing puppets — the ones I owned as a kid, the influence the Muppet Movie had on me, the most expensive puppet I ever owned, and what became of my paltry puppet collection.
